Global Engineering Club University of Waterloo Chapter

Categories:
  • Academic
  • Environmental and Sustainability
  • Political and Social Awareness

GE UW is group of students that aims to expand the mission of Global Engineering Week to the UWaterloo community. GE is a national initiative that aims to immerse engineering students in global issues and engage them in multidisciplinary thinking. GE achieves this in three main ways. First, we partner with professors in primarily Engineering courses to incorporate global engineering concepts into the engineering curriculum. Secondly, we host a speaker series that invites world-renowned speakers who have worked in global development and engineering across international contexts to present their experiences to the student body during Global Engineering Week in March. Thirdly, we organize events throughout the same week aimed to test and apply students’ learning in global engineering to competitions and real-world scenarios.

​

A typical term includes an information session for new and old members within the first two weeks of classes. Auditions for the 4 auditioned groups begin shortly after the information session. During the term, social events are held as well as workshops run by club members and professional musicians. The term ends off with the End of Term (EOT) concerts held every term at the Theatre of the Arts in Modern Languages. Groups typically practice 1-2 times a week and learn around a 16 minute choreographed set for the EOT concerts. Outside of the EOT concerts, there are numerous performance and gig opportunities on campus and within the K-W area where the groups get to interact with the community at large.

For further details on JOINING or PERFORMANCE REQUESTS, please e-mail the ensembles directly, or email uw.a.cappella.club@gmail.com.
